The test was conducted on the UTM at an angle of 180°. The husk sample was mounted on two rectangular plates with a gap of 50 mm between them. A mandrel of 75 mm length and 120 mm radius was kept on the top of the husk. The load was applied on the husk through the mandrel until the husk bends or breaks because of the applied pressure. This pressure was measured as the resistance of the coconut husk to the applied bending force.
